National Parks Wouldn't Exist Without Him...

- Welcome back to another episode of PARK PROFILES, the series where we explore some of the most important figures in National Park and conservation history. Today, we're taking a look at Horace Albright. Along with Stephen Mather, Albright was an essential figure in the early days of the National Park Service. These 2 were perfect complements of one another: yin and yang, peanut butter and jelly, Sam and Frodo. Mather was the marketer, building public support and legitimacy for the fledgling NPS, while Albright was the man behind the scenes, putting everything together and laying the legal and administrative framework for the beloved institution we have today. Horace Albright is a personal hero of mine, and I hope you enjoy learning more about him.

"crossing the i's and dotting the t's." Wonderful delivery!
I'm expecting a Middle Earth national parks video on April 1st
Hahahaha, Middle Earth would have some banger National Parks!
@@NationalParkDiaries its all fun and games until you notice the bodies in the water looking at you...
Thank you for all the awesome content!!!
Thanks for watching!
Just a terrific video. VERY well done. Thanks!
Thanks so much!!
The people behind the scenes matter so much. It was good to learn more about him.
Agreed, thanks for watching!
I recommend reading Albright's book "Oh Ranger". Also great analogy
I didn't realize he was such a prolific author. I used several of his books/writings to research this episode, but I need to go back and read some of them all the way through just for my own benefit.
Thanks! Good analogy. I would trust you with the NPS
Hahaha, I think I'll stick with UA-cam for now 😂
Mt Doom National Park, where you can experience fabulous views of Middle Earth from Sauron's Overlook. Love it!
Well done!
Thanks!
LOTR National Parks would be a fantastic Holiday episode
Getting lots of feedback on this lol. Might have to take it into consideration!
Love the videos as always, but it seems like you're describing more Steve Wozniak to Steve Jobs than Samwise to Frodo. Still a cool reference though.
Another good one!
Well put together. And there is the Albright training center, a park site within a park. Nice analogy. Like your book collection.
Thanks and thanks! I'm constantly rearranging that shelf as I run out of room lol. Going to have to find some better book storage solutions. Or maybe I'll just have a rotating selection for everyone to see 😂
I want to know about American River System and lot about American Geography, can you able to recommend any good book on those topics
Sometime in the last 3 years the City of Bishop named a street after Horace Albright. It should have been done a long time ago, but at least it is in place now. The street accesses parts of the city park.
Wonderful to see ❤
Thanks Cameron, very good to know
Thanks for watching!
Another great video man! Appreciate your effort and the information you contribute with. I have personally been thinking about how my country (Norway) should reorganize its national parks into more of the American standard. Meaning to combine natural and cultural history into one and to do a better job at marketing them to the people.
Thanks so much, glad I could help spread the word across the pond 😊 I know there are many park systems around the world modeled on the NPS as well, but I don't really know enough about the Norway Park System to say whether that would be the best move or not. Heck, that would be an interesting video topic by itself! As this channel grows, I want to incorporate more international coverage and park systems in other countries - there are just so many fascinating protected areas to cover!
Love ya vids
Thank you!!
@@NationalParkDiaries video idea: why Sedona isn't a national park
@@ShrekSwag Sedona is a town on private lands developed for services available for tourism and residential uses. The public lands surrounding the town of Sedona are part of the Coconino National Forest administered by the U.S. Forest Service. The spectacular red rock formations and landscapes are recognized and protected as part of this National Forest.
@@ShrekSwag The City of Sedona is located on private lands developed for municipal purposes such as retail establishments as well as residential purposes. The public lands surrounding the city, including the distinctive red rock landscapes are part of the Coconino National Forest and administered by the U.S. Forest Service. There are wilderness areas on that National Forest protecting much of those landscapes. The uniqueness of these landscapes is recognized in the Coconino National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. It is up to the Congress of the United States to evaluate areas for inclusion in a National Park unit, such as a National Park or National Monument. There are a lot of locations in northern Arizona and southern Utah that look similar to the Sedona red rock landscape.

Why is nature more beautiful without people building in them
So I was just watching another video and it mentioned something that I think would be worth checking into. It was on the current demotion of RFK Stadium in DC, but the angle I'm really interested in is how the NPS is involved. Might make for a really interesting subject
Ooooh, that's a good one. Great topic. I'll keep that one in mind, for sure!
Ah yes, the greatest fictional man on (middle) earth
100%
Lol love the LOTR tangent
I couldn't resist 😂
The great Ansel Adams' effects and influence would be an interesting story to see. Thanks for your efforts!
Great suggestion, thank you!!
Why are cattle leases still allowed at Pt. Reyes?
Great story idea and I will be covering that at some point! Not on the schedule for the immediate future, but I plan on talking about it, for sure!
Isengard Lake National Park
Fangorn National Forest
Mordor Badlands National Park
… yeah I see it
So many good choices! I think we can get some historic sites in there too 😁
who the hell is samwise gamgee I keep seeing this video and no other videos by you on my fyp
From Lord of the Rings lol. Just a silly comparison I made between him and Horace Albright, the second Director of the National Park Service 😂
Was the Lord of the Rings filmed in any national parks? Or any other famous movies? Could be a good video…
Yes and yes! I believe they filmed LoTR in several National Park in New Zealand, and LOTS of movies have been filmed in National Parks in the US. If you're familiar with Letterboxd, I'm currently working on a list that compiles all of those locations, but yeah, that would make an excellent video topic!
The road to the hotel in The Shining is Going-to-the-Sun road in Glacier NP!
He looks like Peyton Manning ha
Can't unsee 👀
